Tiger Woods has climbed 1,186 spots in the World Golf Rankings in less than a year

Tiger Woods won the Tour Championship on Sunday, his first PGA Tour victory in five years.

While things got close at the end, Woods dominated the tournament and made it clear what many people had been saying for a while — he is back.

With the win, Woods' ranking jumped to 13th in the world, a jump of 1,186 spots since December 2017.

Tiger Woods sent a resounding message to the sports world with a dominating performance at the Tour Championship — he's back, and the majors are next.

The win was Woods' first since the 2013 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, a drought that lasted 1,876 days.

To get a sense of how far back Woods has come from his four back surgeries and off-the-course troubles, take a look at his official world golf ranking. In December, Woods had fallen all the way to 1,199th in the world. Less than a year later, after winning the Tour Championship, he is up to No. 13.
